That would be a long rest, probably 4 minutes worth. If I didn’t put the phone down and do an additional set between… funny how that works, right?

Honestly, could be either. I type around 120 wpm on a proper keyboard but on my phone it is nearer 60-70… when you learn to type long and detailed responses on a blackberry, you become pretty adept.

All good, just having a bit of fun...

I hope so. That’s the point of the forum (aside from showing off, of course)…

Getting back to the status symbol issue let's turn it around.

When you see someone who is wearing a 126500 what does that tell you?

As the 12 series Daytona come out at the height of the hype, the wearer had to:
a. buy grey at 2X to 3X retail

b. have a superior AD relationship with substantial spend history

c. wanted a new Daytona so much that preowned or other manufacturer's chronos were not adequate alternatives.

Have I missed anything?

What do a, b or c tell you about status symbols?

Yes. Who cares?
